Okara is a charming vegetarian cafe and cantine in Lyon offering organic, sustainable, and seasonal French-European fare with both savory and sweet vegan options. The venue is casual and cozy with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful, friendly staff who often explain the menu. While primarily vegetarian, the vegan offerings are well considered and include homemade dishes and pastries, but some reviews note limited vegan breakfast and dessert variety.
